Our style is industrial prohibition with a splash of steampunk thrown in for good measure. Find us on Queensgate and enjoy craft beers, vintage cocktails & some incredible comfort food!

Scotch & Rye is our homage to the hard working, harder drinking people of that era, delivering our signature New York & Chicago inspired burgers and home-cookin', all washed down with great craft brews, unique (and award-winning) cocktail creations and a service team with an unmatched personality! We are also a dog-friendly bar! All well-behaved dogs are most welcome at Scotch & Rye.
Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult and vacate the premises by 10 pm.*

    Food and service absolutely fantastic, tables were quite small (had to fix out order all on the table) and close together as it felt like we were having lunch with the people on the tables either side of us - but still can’t fault the visit at all

    Food was delicious. Two of us had the Turkey Christmas dinner and the meat and vegetables were cooked to perfection. One of the best Christmas dinners both of us had ever had. The lamb dish was also generous and much enjoyed by my friend. Service was wonderful. Friendly, helpful and generous. The restaurant has a good ambience. Nicely decorated, busy, but not crowded and very enjoyable. Staff looked after us well. Many thanks to them all.
